X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 05:50:03 -0000 I see it's been asked in the past but can't find any good answers. A VP wants to set up a webcam to take pictures of some new construction and put them on a web server. Could this be done inexpensively with a Logitech or Creative USB Webcam plugged into a FreeBSD box do both the capture and serve the picture pages ? I don't think it would matter if it captured stills or could stream. Does anyone have any experience with the ports out there ? Thanks in advance, Jay.
